1. Isolation of Circulating Tumor Cells with Acoustophoresis : Towards a biomarker assay for prostate cancer
Abstract : Microfluidics has emerged as an essential approach in the development of novel technological platforms to detect and isolate rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of cancer patients. Micro-scaled fluidic systems offer means to precisely control fluid flow. READ MORE

2. The application of microfluidic devices and multifunctional fibers in cancer diagnostics
Abstract : Efficient separation and detection of rare cells in a mixed population is important in many biomedical applications. For instance, isolating and detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from whole blood samples could allow for early cancer diagnosis and prognosis during treatment. READ MORE

3. Receptor tyrosine kinases and circulating tumor cells as new prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer with special focus on TNBC
Abstract : About 8000 Swedish women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and around 1500 die from the disease. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) constitutes 7-14% of all breast cancer and is characterized by an aggressive phenotype with poor prognosis and no targeted therapy available. READ MORE

4. Pharmacometric Evaluation of Biomarkers to Improve Treatment in Oncology
Abstract : Cancer is a family of many different diseases with substantial heterogeneity also within the same cancer type. In the era of personalized medicine, it is desirable to identify an early response to treatment (i.e., a biomarker) that can predict the long-term outcome with respect to both safety and efficacy.
